“We were looking for someone to house sit for while we were overseas for a few weeks. From the moment we met Oli we knew our pets and home would be in good hands while we were away. Before our trip Oli took the time out to meet our pets and was happy to have all the detailed info about how to take care of them. Last minute our dog needed almost daily meds given while we were away and Oli didn’t hesitate to step up. She sent us multiple pictures and updates throughout the day which is as such a relief! When we came back our house was even cleaner than before and our pets barely greeted us. Which means they had an amazing time with Oli! Thank you so much Oli for your help and if you’re looking a reliable, communicative sitter, she’s your girl!”


“Emily was the perfect dog and house sitter! She was generous in her updates to let us know how everything was going, and Page clearly loved the time he spent with her!”

“Mallory was wonderful watching our dogs at our house for the weekend. She handled our two (sometimes troublesome) pups very well and with no complaints, even when one got a little sick. She was communicative throughout the entire process and shared lots of pictures and updates during her stay to make us feel more comfortable and show us they were happy and well loved. She took excellent care of our house as well. Thank you!”

“Kate was wonderful with my girls! She is so calm and a kind. She walked and played with my 90-lb dog and sassy kitten, and they loved her! She sent the cutest pictures and communicated quickly so I didn't have to worry about whether my pets were okay. Highly recommend!”

“Holly is the best cat sitting. She always took pictures of my cat and sent it everyday. She also on top of everything. My Godfrey loves her so much. Thank you, Holly! High recommended her!”

“Alex took great care of our two dogs! He sent daily updates and photos. Our dogs really enjoyed their time with him. He left the house clean and tidied up. Very happy with the care our dogs got while we were gone, especially our senior!”

“I had to find a sitter VERY last minute and Margaret was incredible. She met me for a meet and greet and my sweet Tillie fell for her right away. Tillie had a great time on her sleepover and I'll definitely be reaching out to Margaret again in the future.”

“This was the second time Keaton took care of my dog and I couldn’t have asked for a better pet caretaker! My dog got sick right before I had to go out of town and Keaton took the best care of him.”

“Available for a last minute trip, Cindy was a huge help! Responsive, cared for my dog well and kept me updated. I felt comfortably leaving my home and fuzzy buddy in her care.”

“Sidney was so gentle and loving to our shy kitty! Bambino took to her immediately and when we came home, he was a happy clam as if we hadn’t even been away! We would 100% recommend her and will be booking her again for our future getaways 🥰. Thank you so much, Sidney!”

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages, from puppies to senior dogs and even very large breeds. I worked at Dulles Pet Hotel & Daycare, where I provided attentive care, maintained clean and safe environments, administered medications, and monitored the health and behavior of all pets in my care. Beyond professional experience, I have been dog-sitting for multiple families throughout high school and continue to do so while in college, providing everything from walks and playtime to feeding, grooming, and administering medications. I also have my own dog, which has given me daily hands-on experience with training, care, and attention. I also love love love big dogs, I used to have a Mastiff growing up which made me fall in love with dogs! In addition to my pet care skills, I worked as a sales associate at Good Dog Rocky, where I built strong relationships and developed trustworthiness and reliability—qualities I bring to caring for every pet. I will take care of your dog like it’s my own, and you can expect nothing short of the best care from me, ensuring your furry friend is happy, safe, and loved while in my care. I’m currently a college student at VCU studying Economics and Statistics. My class schedule is fairly light, which gives me plenty of flexible time to walk, play with, and care for a furry friend throughout the week. I’m happy to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening care depending on your dog’s needs. I currently live on campus in a dorm room, but back at home, we take excellent care of our puppy! She has a spacious playpen where she can run, play, sleep, and do whatever her heart desires. I bring the same love, attention, and care to every dog I look after in their home!

“Victor was a great companion to Onion - they took to each other right away. Victor was respectful of my place and left it in great condition. Victor is now on my list of pet sitters for the future.”

“Bridget was so great with our two girls! We are new to Rover and Bridget and she put us and our dogs at ease! The girls had a wonderful weekend with her. We were lucky to have Bridget take such great care of them.”

“Looking for someone who is kind, thoughtful, and who will truly love on your pups while you’re away, Camryn is a great choice! We came home to three very happy pups and from the pictures we saw of their weekend together, have no doubts that they loved her company. Thank you so much!”
